Yes. (Though "person" or "human" or "astronaut" or "explorer" would me more inclusive.)
And congratulations! You didn't put a question mark after "Jupiter"!
Most native English speakers seem to think that "I wonder" is a question.
It's not.

I'd say 'I wonder if it will ever be possible to send a person to Jupiter'.
(Actually, we have enough knowledge of Jupiter to know that there wouldn't be any point in sending an astronaut there.)

To be fair, Ungifted didn't wonder whether a person could survive the crushing gravity of Jupiter while sinking into its liquid-gas "surface".
